  Hi,
I have got a lab with about 20 MACs connected via Localtalk. I need
to connect them to outside (ethernet) world and to make an appletalk
fileserver for them (on Linux). I suggest I have these posibilities:

1) buy some Localtalk card for PC and route appletalk via Linux fileserver
2) dedicate one of the MACs for routing Localtalk/Ethertalk and on 
   Ethernet there will be Linux appletalk fileserver.
3) buy Ethertalk cards for all the MACs I have  (too expensive)

I need some suggestions about this:
ad 1) does exist any Localtalk card for PC ? Is that card supported under
       Linux ?
ad 2) does exist any freely available routing software for MAC's sys7 ?

thanx

Roman Dolejsi
